He has also shown at the Casa Siglo XIX, Museum of Sebastian, Chihuahua,Mexico. "I believe in what I feel and see to create something from nothing. I search for my perception of life and the excesses of maturity, and believe in the divine inspiration from God for my creation" Raul's work undergoes transformations. He challenges himself to articulate through painting his particular visions.
Robert Martinez is a Denver artist and a humble man with a love for vibrant, bold colors. His affinity for Fritz Scholder, Malcom Furlow and John Nieto is clearly seen in his Native American braves' paintings. "I paint what I am inspired to paint. The images I paint are based in a large part on the people I met growing up. We visited family and friends on the Pueblos for Feast Days and ceremonies. The Penitentes, the Church, the Valley, the whole experience of growing up in the San Luis Valley of Colorado and New Mexico".
Dr. Peter Berndt is a visual artist with classical art school training from Boulder, CO. His primary focus is figuration, and color and shape. His exhibit will include the delightful and playful painting entitled "Thank you Mr. Klee", rendered in ink and egg tempera. His paintings and drawings are in collections in France, Mexico, Wyoming, Colorado and Texas. He has aprivate psychiatric practice in Denver.
Joanne Neal-Berndt grew up in San Antonio Texas with a B.S. in Fashion Design. Her paintings reflect her experience working with slate, marble, granite, limestone stucco and copper when she later worked remodeling historic homes in Georgetown and Evergreen, CO, Dallas and San Antonio, Texas. Her paintings exhibit the surface of these themes especially as they respond to the forces of nature over time. In addition to Ditto, Joanne shows in Dallas, Santa Fe and Boulder.
Denver's own GRI Studios has been digitally printing art and media since 1999. After immense recognition for quality, they've decided to showcase work through this gallery venue.
